New video footage has emerged which shows a different perspective on one case of alleged policy brutality at Sydney Mardi Gras, as it appears to show one of those who accused the police of brutality, resisting arrest.

In the original four minute video, Jackson is detained by police, while others, including the person making the video, attempt to get the badge number of the officer involved.

Some have called for an external enquiry into the handling of Mr Jackson, and Sydney police have been preparing for a protest arranged following the video’s publication.

This new footage, however, has brought into question whether or not the policeman in the video acted inappropriately.

It has since emerged that Jackson was originally under arrest for tickling a woman he didn’t know. He later appeared on Australian TV show A Current Affair, and admitted he was wrong.

He said: “It’s all still hazy. It shouldn’t have gone that far. I shouldn’t have approached someone I didn’t know, I understand that. I don’t even know how it got to this point. I don’t know how a simple altercation could turn into a big massive scuffle.”

He was charged with resisting arrest, police assault and offensive language.
